MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 149 Autumn Harvest and Botanical Gardens
The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and it is the time of the autumn harvest. Luo Fan's grandfather is an authentic farmer, and his family grows 10 mu of corn.
In the past, Xiahe Town did not grow corn. Every year there was a crop of wheat and soybeans.
Later, for some indescribable reasons, soybeans were planted without subsidies at that time.
If only wheat is grown, the income is too low.
So they all planted corn.
How much corn can be produced from 10 acres of land?
Luo Fan remembered that Luo Hai told him that when he started to plant corn in his hometown, one mu of land could yield about 1,000 catties. Later, the varieties were continuously updated, and the yield per mu reached 1,300 to 1,500 catties.
In 2010, a pound of wet corn was about 80 cents 2, and the income per mu of land was 1,066 to 1,230 yuan.
By 2021, a pound of wet corn will have the appearance of 1 yuan 2, 1 yuan 3, and can earn a little more.
But no matter how you farm the land, you earn hard money. Every year, the wetlands are first plowed, then the land is turned over, and the seeds are planted. If the weather is too hot and it doesn’t rain, you need to water many times. When the corn is mature, people have to break the corn.
In Luo Fan's impression, every year during the National Day holiday, his family's supermarket would be closed, and the family of three went to help collect corn.
It was not until the previous life that Luo Hai could no longer stand up, their family did not return to their hometown.
Around 2015, Luo Fan listened to Luo Hai on the phone and said that Xiahe Town had bought a corn harvesting machine, which would save a lot of effort by not having to break the corn.
And now in 2010, the cornfield of Grandpa Luo Fan's family still needs someone to break the corn.
Originally, Luo Fan wanted to take Li Jingyi to play, but he couldn't stand by and watch the autumn harvest, right?
So Luo Fan drove back to Xiahe Town and broke corn in the field for 5 days.
Wearing ragged clothes, a straw hat, and a rubber-coated glove on his hands, this is all Luo Fan's equipment for working in the field.
Luo Fan is really not a traffic star. You don't need to rely on this to gain attention. Otherwise, take a picture of Luo Fan's current appearance and post it on the daily headlines.
The title is written: Shocked, the big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions actually does this kind of thing in the field... He must be able to **** a wave of traffic.
I don't know if it's because I haven't done farm work for too long, my hands are rusty, or some other reason. At the beginning, Luo Fan's work efficiency was a lot worse than his parents, grandparents.
It was not until the 4th day, and on the 5th day, that he almost caught up with the speed of his parents and grandparents.
5 people worked hard and collected 8 mu of land in 5 days.
There are still two acres left. Originally, Luo Fan wanted to help and took it back, but at this time Luo Hai said that the remaining two acres, the two of them would help, let Luo Fan go back and pack up and prepare to go back to Shanghai!
Luo Fan definitely didn't want to stay and do farm work, but it was not good to leave at this time.
After some ideological struggle, Luo Fan still ran.
It's not that he can't bear hardships, it's mainly because he promised Li Jingyi to take her out to play, and he can't break his promise.
So Luo Fan drove back to the city, took a hot shower, and changed clothes the next day to find Li Jingyi.
Li Jingyi was stunned when she saw Luo Fan.
"Wow! Luo Fan, are you digging coal? How can it be so dark?"
"Didn't I tell you that I went to help harvest autumn!"
"Will the autumn harvest be exposed like this?"
"You think so! Even if you wear a straw hat, the sun won't show mercy to you."
Li Jingyi patted Luo Fan on the shoulder to show her sympathy. She grew up in the city since she was a child, and she has no experience in this area, so she can't imagine what Luo Fan has experienced these days.
After picking up Li Jingyi, Luo Fan drove to the botanical garden in the city, which was opened in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This botanical garden was completed in 2009 and officially opened on New Year's Day in 10 years. It is quite famous. Unfortunately, Luo Fan has never been there in his past life and this life.
Therefore, I am also looking forward to Luggage Jingyi at the Botanical Garden.
During the National Day holiday, many people came to visit the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Luo Fan and Li Jingyi came over at 8:30 and waited in line for an hour to get tickets.
The entrance passage of the botanical garden is very narrow, but after passing through the passage, the inside suddenly becomes wider, which reminds Luo Fan of a sentence in the story of Peach Blossom Spring: At the beginning, it is very narrow, but it is easy to understand. .
The botanical garden is divided into two parts, one part is semi-open air, here are some plants close to the local ecological environment, most of which Luo Fan has seen.
The inside is enclosed and has a full range of tropical plants.
Compared with native plants, tropical plants are obviously more eye-catching.
Because everyone has seen many local plants, you must come to the botanical garden to see those plants that you have never seen before.
The same goes for Luo Fan and Li Jingyi. They didn't stop at the front part and went directly to the tropical botanical garden at the back.
I have to say that the tropical plants here are really complete, both rare and non-rare, including all kinds of ornamental flowers and inconspicuous vegetation.
As soon as Luo Fan and Li Jingyi entered the garden, they were attracted by the flowers that covered the entire wall.
The two ran over, Luo Fan took a photo with his phone, and Li Jingyi looked at the flower's profile.
Luo Fan remembered that Li Jingyi was a person who was very interested in plants in his previous life.
This is obviously the case in this life. She must stop and read the introduction carefully in front of the famous brand of each plant, and try to remember it.
She was also holding a small notebook in her hand. Luo Fan took a closer look and found that the outline of the notebook was the general shape of the plants that had just passed by.
In contrast, Luo Fan's focus is mainly on various flowers.
When he sees a beautiful flower, he always runs to touch it, sniff it, and take a photo.
Li Jingyi glanced at Luo Fan and secretly said childishness! Then, after confirming that Luo Fan was not looking at her, she quickly bent down to pick up a flower petal that fell on the ground and put it in a small notebook.
As a well-known double-standard person in China, Li Jingyi feels that any of her actions are not childish.
Luo Fan and Li Jingyi continued to walk and met a little girl in a floral dress.
The little girl looks like only 5 or 6 years old. Children of this age are obviously not interested in flowers and plants. Her focus is on insects, butterflies, dragonflies and bees flying among the flowers.
The little girl has been chasing these insects, trying to catch them.
Naturally, the little girl can't catch up with the butterfly, but there are always some insects parked on the flower. When she was passing by a frangipani, she saw the wasp parked on it, and the little girl stretched out her hand to grab it!
"Don't touch it! It will sting." Li Jingyi ran over and grabbed the little girl's hand. The little girl's father rushed over and saw the wasp flying away from the frangipani, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Wasps are not the same as bees. If this is stung, the consequences will be disastrous.
